:00:12. > :00:14.Welcome to BBC London News with me Victoria Hollins.

:00:15. > :00:18.The Mayor has told BBC London it's vital for the capital to maintain

:00:19. > :00:21.access to the single market after Brexit.

:00:22. > :00:24.Last week's general election result has raised more

:00:25. > :00:27.questions about the future of Brexit negotiations.

:00:28. > :00:31.Some are calling for next week's talks to be delayed,

:00:32. > :00:33.while remainers, like the Mayor Sadiq Khan,

:00:34. > :00:35.say London needs to be treated differently to the rest

:00:36. > :00:38.of the country so talent can be attracted here.

:00:39. > :00:40.So what does it all mean for the capital?

:00:41. > :00:47.Forget Boris bikes, how about Sadiq scooters?

:00:48. > :00:50.Whizzing through rush hour, just one idea on show

:00:51. > :00:54.The folding one is over there, that's for commuters.

:00:55. > :00:57.But the mayor worries this booming sector could be under threat

:00:58. > :01:01.from the uncertainty surrounding Brexit.

:01:02. > :01:04.Businesses I speak to tell me what they need is access to talent.

:01:05. > :01:07.We have got to make sure we continue to attract talent to our city.

:01:08. > :01:10.They also want to have access to the single

:01:11. > :01:13.I accept that some parts of the country don't want

:01:14. > :01:17.immigration, even though they may need it.

:01:18. > :01:25.London voted to remain in the EU, we want talent and we need it.

:01:26. > :01:27.One in five tech workers are from the EU.

:01:28. > :01:30.A new survey of business owners reveals that three quarters of them

:01:31. > :01:33.are worried that plans to curb immigration could make the current

:01:34. > :01:36.Tom's business is all about clothes and how

:01:37. > :01:40.His online tool is used across the world and he recruits globally.

:01:41. > :01:44.London has had such a great draw as an amazing diverse open city,

:01:45. > :01:50.that's enabled to us get that talent here.

:01:51. > :01:52.I think the rhetoric of the anti-immigration and in terms

:01:53. > :01:54.of the Tory manifesto, that sort of sends

:01:55. > :01:59.They're underperforming, the other things are down a bit,

:02:00. > :02:05.A softer Brexit would be welcome news here at this bank.

:02:06. > :02:08.The City initially had a knee-jerk reaction you would expect,

:02:09. > :02:11.sterling fell on Friday but then settled for the rest of the day.

:02:12. > :02:15.Economic uncertainty is always bad for markets but then when markets

:02:16. > :02:18.started to think about this, actually the hopes of a soft Brexit

:02:19. > :02:21.have increased, better long-term growth, stronger currency.

:02:22. > :02:25.He hopes a softer Brexit would mean staying in the single market and not

:02:26. > :02:30.No surprise perhaps from City experts who backed remain.

:02:31. > :02:33.But what about one who voted to leave?

:02:34. > :02:38.The first thing I want to see happen immediately is for those wonderful

:02:39. > :02:41.three million people from the European Union settle

:02:42. > :02:43.down in this country, that's rich coming from a Brexiteer

:02:44. > :02:45.and the million people from the United Kingdom

:02:46. > :02:48.who want to live in Europe, let them stay and I think that

:02:49. > :02:51.will show immense good faith and we need to show good faith

:02:52. > :02:55.You know what, I don't think we've got many friends

:02:56. > :02:59.in the European Union and we have to win them back really quickly.

:03:00. > :03:02.But to other economists the election results are a blow.

:03:03. > :03:14.Weakening the UK, leaving us at the mercy of EU negotiators.

:03:15. > :03:24.I think this soft Brexit if we are not careful

:03:25. > :03:27.is is going to finish up being the UK not formally

:03:28. > :03:30.but still in the European economic area, like Norway,

:03:31. > :03:32.still having no control over what's going on but still paying

:03:33. > :03:35.large sums of money in, controlled by the Luxembourg core,

:03:36. > :03:37.no border control, unable to negotiate deals, trade

:03:38. > :03:40.And this seems to be the worst of all possible worlds.

:03:41. > :03:44.For now, the City will have to wait to find out what Brexit means

:03:45. > :03:46.for business but waiting and wondering is not

:03:47. > :03:49.So some soft or hard choices for the new Government.

:03:50. > :03:52.What are likely to be the main issues?

:03:53. > :03:56.Well as we heard, one of the main issues will be that of EU citizens.

:03:57. > :04:00.There are about a million living here in the capital. Many work for

:04:01. > :04:04.the key institutions, that of the NHS, so extremely valuable to many

:04:05. > :04:08.of the residents here in London. A report out today will be of great

:04:09. > :04:12.concern to people like the mayor who wants to encourage foreigners to

:04:13. > :04:17.keep coming here. This report actually states that last July 1300

:04:18. > :04:21.applications came from EU nurses. This April, that was down to 46, so

:04:22. > :04:25.a really significant drop. The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, has

:04:26. > :04:29.said reassuring those EU citizens will be one of his key priorities.

:04:30. > :04:32.Theresa May obviously will have a few different people advising her

:04:33. > :04:36.now. Is that likely to have any implications? What's really

:04:37. > :04:41.interesting there, you will know that Gavin Barwell, the MP for

:04:42. > :04:46.Croydon lost his seat this time. A real Remainer, he wanted to stay in

:04:47. > :04:49.the EU and he has a new job, the ear of the Prime Minister as her new

:04:50. > :04:54.Chief of Staff. It will also be extremely interesting to keep an eye

:04:55. > :04:59.on the Chancellor Philip Hammond. He is due to make another soft

:05:00. > :05:03.Brexiteer, due to make a Mansion House speech at the City of London

:05:04. > :05:05.this week t may give us more clues. Let's wait and see. Thank you very

:05:06. > :05:08.much. The mother of Charlie Gard has

:05:09. > :05:11.shared a photo of her son with his eyes open, as she waits

:05:12. > :05:14.to find out if his life-support Connie Yates posted the image

:05:15. > :05:18.on social media with the message Specialists want the 10-month-old

:05:19. > :05:24.moved to palliative care, but his parents are fighting

:05:25. > :05:27.to take their son to The European Court of Human Rights

:05:28. > :05:38.is currently considering the case. BBC London has learnt

:05:39. > :05:40.that the capital's tram fleet could be fitted

:05:41. > :05:42.with speed monitoring devices. The devices would alert the driver

:05:43. > :05:45.if they are breaking speed limits or the system could also

:05:46. > :05:47.automatically apply the brake. Seven people died last November

:05:48. > :05:49.when a tram derailed in Croydon, after it went too fast

:05:50. > :05:56.into a tight corner. The London Fire Brigade says 15

:05:57. > :05:59.people have died over the last three years after creams caught

:06:00. > :06:01.alight on clothing. One of those was

:06:02. > :06:06.88-year-old Hilda Batten. Many of the so-called emollient

:06:07. > :06:08.creams contain paraffin and petroleum which can act

:06:09. > :06:10.like the wick of Regulators are considering

:06:11. > :06:18.whether they should carry warnings. It's been soaking into

:06:19. > :06:21.bed clothes, soaking What happens, particularly

:06:22. > :06:24.if they're smoking, smoking is probably the worst case,

:06:25. > :06:26.if they drop a cigarette, it means that instead of that

:06:27. > :06:29.cigarette just going out, the fumes from that emollient

:06:30. > :06:32.cream help the flames The Duchess of Cambridge has been

:06:33. > :06:38.meeting victims of the London Bridge terror attack who are recovering

:06:39. > :06:41.at King's College Hospital. She's also met some of the doctors

:06:42. > :06:44.and nurses who treated those who were hurt in the attack,

:06:45. > :06:49.which saw three Islamist militants crash a van into crowds on London

:06:50. > :06:52.Bridge before attacking people with knives around

:06:53. > :06:55.nearby Borough Market. Here's the BBC's Royal

:06:56. > :07:02.Correspondent, Peter Hunt. A senior royal and those

:07:03. > :07:04.who responded to the Nine days on, several patients

:07:05. > :07:10.continue to be cared for here. It's everyone, isn't it,

:07:11. > :07:13.the team that's involved. The first of the injured arrived

:07:14. > :07:22.in the back of a police van. King's College Hospital is sadly

:07:23. > :07:25.well used to treating stab victims, The amount of female

:07:26. > :07:33.patients that were involved, which I think was quite traumatic

:07:34. > :07:36.for the staff, and for Also, patients were very distressed,

:07:37. > :07:42.and the people that brought them in, as well, it was all just unfolding

:07:43. > :07:44.in front of us. This hospital is one of five that

:07:45. > :07:47.responded to the terror attack. The skill of the surgeons

:07:48. > :07:50.and quality of the care provided has meant that everyone who made it

:07:51. > :07:53.to hospital has survived. One of them is Candice Hedge,

:07:54. > :08:20.reunited here with her family. One was standing in the corner. One

:08:21. > :08:24.was stabbed by one, the one beside me was shouting. He looked at me, I

:08:25. > :08:26.can't remember really what he looks like, it was sort of like, you

:08:27. > :08:31.know... He got me. Two other Australians

:08:32. > :08:32.didn't survive. Yeah, it's not fair that they didn't

:08:33. > :08:39.make it, and I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky for making it,

:08:40. > :08:42.but, you know, I just want to try and be as positive as I can

:08:43. > :08:51.about a pretty bad situation. You've got lots of

:08:52. > :08:55.people to support, This is a hospital caring for mental

:08:56. > :09:00.as well as physical wounds, and this is a royal visit that

:09:01. > :09:03.recognises, said one doctor, But let's find out

:09:04. > :09:21.what the weather's up Don't know if it was just me but hay

:09:22. > :09:25.fever hasn't been great the last few days. It hasn't, a lot of sniffling,

:09:26. > :09:30.I think. High pollen levels today and for the next few days. The

:09:31. > :09:34.weather for the week ahead will become very warm in the middle part

:09:35. > :09:36.of this week T will be mostly dry. There will be decent spells of

:09:37. > :09:40.sunshine because the cloud will be well broken. As it was this evening,

:09:41. > :09:44.this was the picture across the capital from one of our weather

:09:45. > :09:49.watchers. We into this evening with clear skies. So you add warm air in

:09:50. > :09:53.later in the week and also some humidity we are looking at the

:09:54. > :09:57.mid-20s but muggy conditions from Wednesday onwards. Not so out there

:09:58. > :10:02.at the moment. There is a bit of clear sky, the breeze is easing back

:10:03. > :10:05.all the time. Temperatures may just slip into single figures in one or

:10:06. > :10:09.two spots in the countryside in the early hours of tomorrow morning. We

:10:10. > :10:12.wake up to a fair amount of brightness and sunshine. There will

:10:13. > :10:16.be cloud that bubbles up throughout the day that will then dissipate to

:10:17. > :10:19.the late afternoon and evening. Winds are lighter than yesterday. UV

:10:20. > :10:23.high, pollen levels very high. Yes, you will know about that already of

:10:24. > :10:27.course, but it's going to stay for the next few days. Temperatures, 23

:10:28. > :10:31.tomorrow. But getting up further than that on Wednesday. Mid-20s

:10:32. > :10:36.perhaps for a few of us. That runs into a very warm and sultry night,

:10:37. > :10:40.Wednesday night into Thursday. It will be quite uncomfortable for

:10:41. > :10:43.sleeping on Wednesday into Thursday. There could even be heavy thundery

:10:44. > :10:48.showers. It's a small risk at the moment. That muggy weather continues

:10:49. > :10:52.into the start of Thursday at least, another fairly sunny day but it will

:10:53. > :10:55.freshen as the day goes on so feeling comfortable into the end of

:10:56. > :10:59.the week with a breeze blowing. For the weekend, it's more of the same

:11:00. > :11:05.really. Broken cloud, mostly dry and it's going to be feeling warm again.

:11:06. > :11:12.Louise has this evening's national forecast.

:11:13. > :11:15.Good evening. Not quite flaming June today, but there are signs something

:11:16. > :11:18.just more impressive through the middle of the week. Today it was a

:11:19. > :11:19.bright and breezy affair. A lot of
